How the iPad Has Changed One 99-Year-Old Woman's Life [VIDEO]

We've seen iPads and cats go viral. We've seen iPads and dogs go viral. But the latest iPad YouTube sensation is far more special: It depicts how the device has changed one 99-year-old woman's life.

99-year-old Virgina Cambell of Lake Oswego, Oregon is an avid reader, according to The Oregonian. Unfortunately she has glaucoma, which affects her vision and makes it difficult for her to read books.

Her solution? The iPad, which is her first computer according to the now-viral video depicting her with the device. Its ability to change fonts and increase screen brightness has given her the ability to read again. It has "changed her life," according to one of her daughters.

She's even used the device's virtual keyvboard to write limericks, like this one about her new Apple tablet:

Apple has to be loving this type of free advertising for its newest product. With more stories like this one popping up every day, it's no wonder Apple can't keep up with iPad demand.
